And we're beginning to hear of refugees returning home and making a success of things. Things are beginning to look up. Fox News mentioned a restauranteur reopening his place in Adhamiyah, a city formerly an insurgency stronghold and now much pacified. This is not this guy a few years back but another. Exerpt:
Quote:
SINCE OCTOBER, CAPTAIN WILLIAM MURPHY AND HIS MILITARY CIVIL AFFAIRS TEAM HAVE PUT IN HUNDREDS OF SOLAR LIGHTS IN ADAHMIYAH, A FORMER INSURGENT STRONGHOLD.
THEY SAY... IT'S ALREADY PAID OFF--
STREETS ARE GETTING SAFER...
AND BUSINESSES ARE BENEFITTING.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S MOST POPULAR KEBAB SHOP RE-OPENED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO..
WHEN THE OWNER RETURNED TO BAGHDAD FROM ABROAD... ENCOURAGED BY IMPROVING SECURITY.
AL KAS says: "I am [K]asim, and I am back in Adhamiyah. I have other shops in Qatar, Syria and Amman, Jordan. the street is lit now. before it was dark, so when there is light, people start to go out."
